June 1st, 2017:The Salt Lake Climbers Alliance (SLCA), the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), and Access Fund announce the signing of an unprecedented lease for 140 acres in Little Cottonwood Canyon (LCC). The parcel, known as the Gate Buttress, is about one mile up LCC canyon and has been popular with generations of climbers because of its world-class granite.
The agreement secures legitimate access to approximately 588 routes and 138 boulder problems at the Gate Buttress for rock climbers, who will be active stewards of the property. The recreational lease is the result of several years of negotiations between LDS Church leaders and the local climbing community.
Access Note: The climbs on the Church Buttress above the vault as well as the Glen boulders that have been traditionally closed will remain closed.
Please help us steward this area and leave no trace.

Description
A tricky lead on a broken slab. This unnamed route climbs the left side of Snow Slab's slab. Protection is marginal, and the climbing is decent. Unfortunately, the slab has the odd small ledge with dirt on it, as you climb up it. Link up weaknesses, until you can see a bolt with no hanger. Use it, and continue up the blank, exciting slab with no protection, until a hidden bolt appears. Continue up to the anchors. 70 meter rope for the rappel or some downclimbing.
